Ordered the c201. I use Linux For on the go development. Apart from that it's just typing and stuff... Could you tell me where crouton fails ? I'll use arch Linux which is minimal, what are the things i won't be able to do ?

Well there's the option that i remove my own laptop all-together and buy the ASUS ux305, but my thinkpad works fine. Got a decent system. the charging unit and battery is a little messed up, otherwise perfect system. So, looking for a portable chromebook. Samsung/Dell not available here...

Hey. I think you know more, A-LOT more than me about shells and stuff. I use a normal out-of-the-box BASH shell. I don't find any deficiency in 'cd'. None, whatsoever. "Goto" just adds a couple of more features on top of it. That's it. I wanted to replicate Sublime Texts fuzzy-finder, I added a bookmark/shortcut thingy just for the sake of it(..you know more features. ) It helps me traverse between directories and that's that, dude.. Dunno about zsh, fish etc etc. No idea about auto-completes. I made it. Found it useful, wanted people to review it. It was fun, got to learn some more stuff. That's that. Sorry, If you didn't like it.

It has a fuzzy file finder present, that makes it easier to look for files inside the working directory. Also, "goto" worked for me, and hence i use that. i have a wide variety of .deb packages installed and they were contradicting the "g" tag. If you like something else, just modify your .bashrc alias or open install.sh and modify the alias value being written there. That is a minute difference.

Also, another difference between bashmark and this is that it uses all functionalities as an extension to goto. ie. to save you write" goto -s <shortcut> " instead of "s <shortcut>" this is again done to simplify the .bashrc and remove g/s/l/p functions from being created. Gives me greater control.

When i said minimal, i meant WRT the .bashrc file. I didn't want extra stuff and functions there. Also, this is just cd with a glorified jumping feature. Like i said, it's a better form of 'cd'. You can't compare it to zsh/fish or other shells!!!

The problem with this is that it saves all the attribute as functions and messes up the .bashrc file. Eg: to save I use: goto -s <shortcut> while this program uses: s <shortcut> Mine is a little minimal, also, the shortcut thing is just an added feature. I just wanted to replicate the Sublime Texts, fuzzy search feature. I don't think bashmarks has fuzzy-find ??
